hyp-Oz-crite

hyp-Oz-crite
Hip-a-scrit. One who dumps on another (usually a celebrity) forever, but when said person (celebrity) becomes more mainstream and popular, the dumper suddenly loves her. Derived from the media's lovey-dovey reaction to former whipping-boy Ozzy Osbourne once his TV show became popular.

I remember when Newsweek ripped Ozzy to shreds, calling him devil-worshipper. Now they praise the realism of his show. What a bunch of hyp-Oz-scrits.
